There is also the more IG-like Pixelfed (https://pixelfed.org/)
For those who don’t know, ActivityPub enables all of these (Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, Friendica, Misskey, etc) to work transparently between implementations and servers.

Deleted my FB account last year but rarely used it to begin with. Never linked my IG account with FB either but am waiting for a reasonable excuse to delete it as well.
It’s trivial to set up in a way that your content never leaves your server if you want, blanket or per-post.
Note I’m saying that content flows across servers and implementation, not that all of these share federated auth. You can not “sign in” on any other server than the one you registered with.
Some people have multiple accounts on multiple servers, some stick to one. fosstodon.org is a great one for floss and Linux talk if you don’t want to run your own.
BTW, check my HN profile if anyone wants to be friends :)
Oh definitely, I haven't conflated the two. The issue (at least for me) is I haven't found a way to limit mass propagation of content. Things I post in one federated instance may not jibe for others when it is a two-way street. Vice versa, maybe I don't want the exposure from more radical persuasions and/or content. Trying to reconcile the tradeoffs is also an issue in of itself as well.
I'm also assuming that the support in server software for non-moderator users to have better control (assuming trust in the operator of course) will continue to improve over time.
